SETI system

[augustwest]

oh and also, if i were to devote an entire system to SETI what would i want to set the cache size to in the SETI driver?

As said before, somewhere around 50 is good, it only takes up a few megabytes, which shouldnt be a problem unless you have a super hurting system.

how come when i have it set to just one on this p4 system that im on now it boggs the whole thing down. and i aint ****in around i mean it really boggs the thing down, bad

open seti driver and set client priority to low will fix it.

and after a few day, u'll have a good idea how many WU/day ur machine will produce. then set ur cache to at least 5-7days worth of WU just in case berkeley is down......

crunch on!!

oh, yeah, welcome to the team!!

thanks, someone told me to set it to normal. should i leave it there when im not using the system at night?

If the machine is not doing any thing else, the setting really doesn't matter. It won't be sharing resources anyway, low shouldn't make much of a difference. Make sure that you hit the "Save Config" button before you close the box or it will not stick.

 

[augustwest]

got it. thanks. so exactly what does seti do?

 

[vodka314]

Searches for aliens it does.

 

[augustwest]

that is a very good things. so let me guess..........S E T I would stand for search for extraterrestrial intelligence or someting like that?

 

[vodka314]

Thats what it stands for

 

[augustwest]

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude...........i seriously just guessed that, i didnt know anything about seti till this morning. i rock!

 

[vodka314]
